Terms & Conditions

By placing an Online Order or an Online Phone Order with us, you confirm that the information you provide is true, accurate and complete in all respects. By placing an order you confirm that you are over 18 years of age.

The steps required for a binding contract between you and Harrods are outlined below:

• You place an order for products or services:
  • a. Online Orders: when you press the 'Pay Now' button at the end of the online checkout process.
  • b. Online Phone Orders: a member of our Customer Service team will ask you to confirm that you wish to place the order.
• You will be given the opportunity to confirm the details of your order, including your address and payment details, prior to completing your order.
• When you place an order, we will send you an acknowledgement email to let you know that we have received your order. This is not an order confirmation or acceptance. We will request pre-authorisation against your payment card at this stage.
• We will send you a confirmation email to confirm that your order has been dispatched for delivery. This is confirmation and acceptance of your order. Your payment card will be charged on dispatch*.
• Unless otherwise agreed, your order will be delivered within 30 days of confirmation of your order (please see our Delivery & Returns page for more information on our standard delivery times). Where we are unable to deliver your order within this period, we reserve the right to cancel your order.
• We may contact you if we cannot accept your order, which may be the result of (i) the products not being available, (ii) there is a problem with your payment method, (iii) there has been a pricing or product description error on the website, (iv) we are unable to deliver the products due to local import restrictions or requirements at your delivery destination or (v) you don’t meet our eligibility to order criteria or are in breach of any of the T&Cs or other law.
• The contract will be concluded in English.
• *Please note that for delivery of hampers, payment will be taken at the time you place your order.

We accept payment by American Express, JCB, Maestro, MasterCard, Visa and Visa Debit, Harrods Gift Cards and PayPal (and other card providers as provided by Harrods from time to time) in a number of currencies. Please see our FAQs for a full list of the payment methods accepted and accepted currencies.

However, for Online Orders delivered to the UK, we only accept payment in UK Pounds Sterling. If you choose to pay using a payment card with a foreign currency-denominated account for a UK delivery, the payment will be taken in UK Pounds Sterling. Your payment card issuer will then convert the UK Pounds Sterling value, using their foreign exchange rates.

All prices shown on the website are inclusive of local VAT or sales taxes applicable to your selected delivery destination, where applicable. In addition, for orders delivered outside the UK, local import taxes may be applied to your order and these will be shown at checkout. If you have not chosen your delivery destination, prices shown will be inclusive of UK VAT only (for full information please refer to Delivery below).

We take all reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure. However, unless we are fraudulent or negligent, we will not be liable to you for any losses caused as a result of any unauthorised access to this data by a third party.

For information about payment methods accepted in store, please visit our FAQs or speak to our Customer Service team.

For Online Orders delivered outside of the UK your contract is with our partner, Borderfree Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland with registered office at 51/52 Fitzwilliam Square West, Dublin 2, Ireland, (company number 513271 and VAT number IE3226345BH) (Borderfree) and are subject to Borderfree’s terms and conditions (International Orders).

International Orders may be subject to local taxes, import duties or other local requirements.

All In-Store Purchases or Phone Orders placed for delivery outside of the UK are not with Borderfree. Your contract is with Harrods. Please note that any hamper orders (including Online Orders) placed during the Christmas period (which runs between mid-September and around the end of December) are also placed with Harrods. Please see Delivery below for information on how this affects the payment of local import taxes on your order.

For more information on hampers, please see Food Products, Hampers, Alcohol and Knives below.

Different delivery policies and options apply depending on how you place your order and where your order is being delivered. Please visit the Delivery & Returns page or our FAQs for further information.

Deliveries will be carried out by third party couriers, however please note:

• For all deliveries of In-Store Purchases, any Phone Orders, and UK deliveries of Online Orders, your contract for delivery is with Harrods (Continental) Ltd (a company registered in England, with company number 00156158, and registered office at 87/135 Brompton Road, London, SW1X 7XL).
• For deliveries of Online Orders outside of the UK, your contract is with Borderfree (please see International Orders).

  Please note that we are unable to deliver certain products outside of the UK (such as alcohol, knives, beauty and fragrance, wood products, and perishable items). For a full list of these products please see Delivery & Returns. This list may be subject to change, including for reasons of local import restrictions in your chosen delivery destination. Information on delivery restrictions is also shown on individual product pages.

  For Online Orders delivered outside the UK*, local import taxes will be applied to your order at checkout by our partner Borderfree (for full information on Borderfree please refer to International Orders). For other orders to be delivered outside the UK (In-Store Purchases and any Phone Orders) where your contract is with Harrods we are unable to calculate local import taxes and it is your responsibility to pay for these in order to receive your order. Harrods is not responsible should local Customs confiscate your products or charge any import duty on your products. *This excludes any hamper orders during the Christmas period – please refer to International Orders for more information.

  It is your responsibility to comply with all requirements imposed by local Customs authorities in relation to your order (including requirements regarding the provision of identification information in order to receive your order). We recommend that you make yourself aware of local import duties and any other requirements before placing your order.

  If the product(s) you are ordering contain(s) certain exotic animal skins or fur, and are being delivered outside of Europe, your delivery will take longer (by approximately 20 days on top of the destination's standard delivery time), as we have to obtain licences for the export and import of the products in accordance with international treaties. Certain countries may also require other certification or information in order for your order to be delivered, which again may delay your delivery (by approximately 7 days on top of the destination's standard delivery time). If we are unable to obtain the relevant documentation required for your delivery, we may need to cancel your order.

  For information on the delivery of hampers, please see Food Products, Hampers, Alcohol and Knives below.

In addition to your Statutory Rights, Harrods offers the following rights of return:

With effect from July 2007, the UK's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations (SI 2006 No. 3289 - 11 December 2006) ("WEEE Regulations") require that all producers and distributors of electrical equipment are obliged to pay for recycling of household electrical goods, where previously this bill was met by councils or items were not recycled at all. These regulations also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.

Pursuant to our obligations as a distributor under the WEEE Regulations, we have opted to become a full member of the Distributor Take-Back Scheme (DTS). Membership of the DTS delivers exemption from the requirements of Regulation 42 (to ensure that WEEE from private households can be returned to him free of charge and on a one-to-one basis) and Regulation 45(1) (maintenance of records).

As a member of the DTS, we have made a financial contribution toward the development of the network of Designated Collection Facilities (DCFs). This financial contribution has been used to improve the WEEE collection facilities located at Local Authority Civic Amenity sites. Please note that we do not offer in-store take back of WEEE.

Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams and much of it can be recycled and resources recovered to make new consumer goods. To remind consumers of the collection methods available, which in turn allow recycling to take place, all electrical items sold now carry the "crossed out wheeled bin" symbol below. To ensure that your waste electronics do not damage the environment, please use www.recycle-more.co.uk and recycle today.

Please note that not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical goods. To find your nearest participating site (including other collection facilities that may not be operated by the council) and for advice on all aspects of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk.
